Today’s Links (04/08/05)

• About Stum­ble­Upon
  “StumbleUpon is an intel­li­gent brows­ing tool for shar­ing and dis­cov­er­ing great web­sites. As you click Stum­ble!, you’ll get… pages [that] have been explic­itly rec­om­mended (rated I like it) by friends and other SU mem­bers with sim­i­lar interests”
• The Art News­pa­per — Events, Pol­i­tics and Eco­nom­ics
• Forbes.com Best of the Web
  Forbes pick best art weblogs. They all seem to be a bit rubbish.
• Blinksale | The eas­i­est way to send invoices online
  I think it’s inter­est­ing that all these tiny busi­nesses launch­ing Rails apps are making prod­ucts per­fect for other tiny businesses.
• Magic Line
  “This is a Grease­mon­key user script that adds a per­sonal com­mand // line for search­ing your brows­ing his­tory, tags, XFN links, // autodis­cov­ered RSS/Atom feeds and FOAF files, and much more.” Fuck­ing. Hell.
• Pig​saw.org
  “The search for extrater­res­trial life is long and difficult… Yet there are still an awful lot of people who like to look at pic­tures of sofas.”
• Inter­na­tionale in 20+ lan­guages - MP3 col­lec­tion
• المعهد الحديث لتكنولوجيا الحاسبات واللغات
  The other Modern Institute!
• Guardian Unlim­ited | Arts fea­tures | Inter­view: Lady Sov­er­eign
  Nice pro­file of Sov in the Grau­niad. Def­i­nitely Grau­niad in this case: for ‘Genita’ read ‘Gentina’, though ‘kronk’ could well an alter­nate term for ‘crunk’. Also, in true broad­sheet style, this man­ages to be patro­n­is­ing while sniffily con­demn­ing the way Sov is usu­ally patro­n­ised by the press.
• Dircaster
  “Drop this script in a direc­tory and it will gen­er­ate an RSS feed suit­able for iPod­der, etc based off the MP3 files in that direc­tory. To ‘cast a new file, simply upload it to the direc­tory con­tain­ing this script.”
• Geo­min­der
  “Geominder allows you to create location-​based reminders [on your ‘phone] that stay attached to phys­i­cal loca­tions. When arriv­ing at a marked loca­tion, Geo­min­der can play an alarm and dis­play a stored text note or a voice note…”
• TPN :: The Edin­burgh Fringe Show
  A daily pod­cast from the Fringe. Not lis­tened yet, but if it’s in any way sim­i­lar to that which it covers, it’ll be 99.6% shit.
• Gates Of Ades By Kate Owens on Flickr - Photo Shar­ing!
  My 1000th crappy tele­phone camera snap uploaded to Flickr! Huzzah!
